Jean FossatPedalboard, 2024
Jean Fossat lists seven pedals for Slift's Ilion era: an RMC1 wah, a Fuzz War, a Klon Centaur copy, a Barbershop overdrive, an Enzo synth, a Boss DM-2W delay and a BAM desktop reverb, which supplies most of the band's cavernous space.

Filter & EQ
RMC1 Wah
Front of amp
Role in this rig
Opens the chain as the filter ahead of the fuzz.

Fuzz War
Front of amp
Role in this rig
The core fuzz behind Slift's wall of guitar, engaged for the pickup-switch and muted-tone tricks Fossat favours.
Fossat identifies the Fuzz War in his Far Out interview. He describes keeping the fuzz active while using the guitar's pickup switch and a rolled-off tone control to change the texture.

Klon Centaur copy
Front of amp
Role in this rig
A recent addition providing transparent overdrive and boost.
Fossat says only "a copy of Klon Centaur" without naming the builder, so the unit is recorded generically rather than attributed to a maker.

Barbershop Overdrive
Front of amp
Role in this rig
The second, softer overdrive of the recent pair.
Fossat calls it "the drive Barbershop from Fairfield Circuit"; the maker's name is Fairfield Circuitry.

Pitch & Synth
Enzo
Front of amp
Role in this rig
Supplies the electronic textures that widened Slift's sound on Ilion.
Fossat's list reads "Enzo Meris"; the product is the Meris Enzo.

Delay & Echo
DM-2W Delay
Front of amp
Role in this rig
Provides the echo that carries Slift's long hypnotic passages.
Fossat writes "Boss DMW2 Delay", which is not a Boss model designation. The DM-2W Waza Craft is the closest match and is recorded here, but the transposition is his and the identification is therefore inferred.

The inventory is Fossat's own, given as a flat list with no order, so the sequence follows the archive's convention. Three identifications need care because he wrote the list quickly and transposed names: "Boss DMW2 Delay" is not a Boss designation and is recorded as the DM-2W Waza Craft, the closest match, but marked tentative because the inference is ours; "Enzo Meris" is the Meris Enzo; and "Fairfield Circuit" is Fairfield Circuitry. The Klon is described only as "a copy of Klon Centaur" with no builder named, so it is recorded generically. The two Fender amps and the Marshall and Fender cabs sit outside the board and are omitted. This board rests on that one interview.
No source publishes this sequence. The units are ordered by conventional signal-chain practice, and any documented routing zone is kept as recorded.

MethodologyQuestions about Jean Fossat's 2024 pedalboard
- What pedals did Jean Fossat use in 2024?
- This dated entry lists 7 units: RMC1 Wah, Fuzz War, Klon Centaur copy, Barbershop Overdrive, Enzo, DM-2W Delay, BAM. This is the recorded inventory, not a claim that every connection or model identification is confirmed; see the evidence and routing notes.
- What order were Jean Fossat's pedals in?
- The complete order is reconstructed, not observed. The layout follows the cited routing constraints and the archive's signal-chain convention where the sources are silent: Guitar → RMC1 Wah → Fuzz War → Klon Centaur copy → Barbershop Overdrive → Enzo → DM-2W Delay → BAM → amplifier.
- Is this Jean Fossat's full guitar rig?
- No. This dated entry covers 7 units in the effects path, not every piece of gear Jean Fossat owned or used. Floor pedals, rack units and routing devices are included only where recorded; omitted equipment and uncertain connections are explained in the notes. It is not a complete or current rig inventory.
- When and where was this pedalboard used?
- February 2024. Slift, Ilion release. This is the rig documented for that touring period, not a career-wide gear list.
- How does the archive know what was on this pedalboard?
- One cited source, listed above with the date each was read, including Far Out Magazine. Among them an interview. The units are recorded as documented equipment, and the page was last audited on 2026-08-15.
